Today’s recipe is a very healthy, tasty and easy to make ladoo.  This recipe makes use of very few ingredients namely – peanuts, sesame seeds and jaggery.  In this recipe, I have finely powdered peanuts and sesame seeds, but if you want it to be crunchy, then grind all the ingredients coarsely.  This will give you a nutty taste of sesame and peanuts.  There is no need of any oil in this recipe as natural oil will be generated from roasted peanuts and roasted sesame.

Sesame seeds are supposed to be a very good source of copper and manganese.  They are also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, dietary fiber.  Peanuts are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and anti-oxidants and are good energy sources.
